Oscillators

Glide Mode: FixRate, FixRate A, FixTime, FixTime A—

Determines how the

oscillators respond when Glide is on.

FixRate:

The time to transition between notes varies with the interval

between the notes; the greater the interval, the longer the transition time.

The glide rate is fixed.

FixRate A:

The same as FixRate, but glide is only applied when playing

legato. That is, glide only occurs when a note is held until the next note is

played. This effectively allows glide to be turned on and off just by playing

staccato or legato.

FixTime:

Glide is set to a fixed time, regardless of the interval between

notes.

FixTime A:

The same as FixTime, but glide only occurs when playing

legato.

Key Follow: Off, On—

Turns keyboard tracking off or on for oscillator 3 or 4.
